Umba prayer times overview
The Umba prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Umba prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Umba geographic location is 66.6871°N, 34.3429°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Umba prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Umba the sun rises at 03:39, while Maghrib begins at 21:56. Daylight lasts 18 часов 17 минут. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
4 часа 12 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:56 and the morning Fajr at 02:08. For Umba this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Umba, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Umba is located in the high-latitude zone. During such periods, the astronomical calculation of some prayers may become difficult, so the adjustment recommended for northern regions is applied for Fajr and Isha.
When preparing for prayer in Umba, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:08), Maghrib (21:56) and Isha (23:22) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
Prayer times for Umba are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Umba
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Umba daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:08) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:56) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
The location of Umba at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
